Problem Statement

When I ask Claude to resolve a merge conflict, then I have noticed that the result is often not what I want.

Please improve Claud ability to solve git merge conflicts.

Proposed Solution

do it smarter: Compare changes of local branch to common parent commit. Compare changes of remote to common parent commit. The detect changes which should be in local branch. Detect which changes were done on the remote branch. Then think about that, and solve it.
